Kordell is interested in distributing questionnaires to college freshmen regarding their study habits. he has targeted several colleges where he wants to carry out the research. what must kordell do first?

I believe the answer is: Submit his research proposal to each school's institutional review board (IRB).

Internal review board is an independent organization that established in order to determine the validity of a research and the ethical standard that used during the research. The standard that imposed by institutional review board usually would be aligned with the standard that written under the law.
